Made this cupcake today trying to find a good yellow cupcake recipe. First batch overflowed all over the pan. Filled the muffin tins 1/2 full second batch sank in the middle. Not sure what I did wrong. I make cupcakes all of the time. They tasted good but I don't think I could serve them to anyone. Does anyone have a fabulous recipe for vanilla cupcakes??

Excellent recipe!! My husband said he gets fatter just from the smell! I sent a batch to work with him and they were very well-received. Try scooping the mix into a piping bag (or cut a hole in the corner of a ziploc to pipe into the cups without making a mess.

This recipe is so simple, so delicious. My daughter and I ate 2 each before we could get the frosting on! I didn't use the frosting recipe because of the reviews, but the cupcake is fantastic!

I made the yellow cupcakes but used a chocolate frosting. Maybe the cakes were too light for a heavier chocolate frosting, so overall I wasn't terribly impressed with the outcome. The cupcakes didn't have a whole lot of taste. However, the batter tasted great!

I consider myself to be an above-average cook. I've made many many cakes and frostings, and never had a frosting turn out so horrendously as this recipe did. The cupcakes were delicious, and thankfully sticky, so when they needed to be trimmed, I could press the cut edges into themselves. I made the frosting using a candy thermometer, but it never firmed up. Ended up having to add a pound of confectioner's sugar to the recipe just so I could get it to thicken. I tinted it lavender afterwards and topped the cupcakes with lavender and white sugar. They looked really pretty, but I'm worried the frosting will soften and melt once they've been at room temperature for a while. My advice is to stick with a tried and true buttercream frosting rather than risk this one. I've also been told by some that there's too much butter in this recipe. I do concede that the flavor of the frosting was out of this world.

This recipe made small yellow hockey pucks in the shape of cupcakes. Quite hard, dense, and ikky.

This is the best yellow cupcake recipe I have tried. I halved the recipe, and they came out beautifully! Not to mention that they were delicious!

I added lemon zest and about 1T of lemon juice to the cake, then used the raspberry curd whipped cream frosting found on Epicurious. Cut both cakes in half, had four pretty layers when cut!
